Space Bomber Russia
he Russian space program is developing intensively since the middle of last century. Particular attention in this regard is paid to engine building. One of the teachers Serpuhovsokogo branch of the Strategic Missile Forces Academy, made a statement that his theoretical developments in the field of engine can be used for defense needs.
That in turn led to the interpretation of this statement in the media. The media have interpreted the statement of the university teacher as information on the development of a "space bomber". This interpretation was refuted by the Ministry of Defence.
Defense Ministry spokesman said that the development of such a plan are not the competence of military educational institutions of the Russian Defense Ministry:
"Development of advanced engines for space exploration continuously conducted in Russia since the middle of last century. However, no question of creating a "space bomber" in Serpukhov branch of the Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces can not be. Keeping these developments at least not within the competence of the Ministry of Defense military educational institutions of Russia. There is misinterpretation of the words of the teacher of the military high school on the hypothetical possibility of using its own theoretical developments in the field of drive engineering for defense purposes "
